Ginger-citrus-soy glazed Mahi Mahi

Ingredients:

Mahi Mahi fillets or any fish you prefer
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 cup of water or broth
4 tbsp honey
4 tbsp soy sauce
1-2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1-2 cloves of garlic, crushed or grated
1 tsp lemon or orange zest
1 tsp lemon or orange juice
Sambal or crushed red pepper flakes to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Season the fish fillets with a little salt and pepper and place them in a shallow dish or plate. Combine the sesame oil, water, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, citrus zest and juice, salt, and pepper band pour this mixture over the fish to coat it. Cover and put it in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes to marinate.

Heat a bit of oil in a frying pan and fry the fish ((save the marinade!)) or grill on a George Foreman grill or broil until cooked through. ((Fish should flake easily with fork))

Pour the reserved marinade into a sauce pan and cook, stirring, until the marinade reduces to a glaze-like consistency. You can add a slurry of cornstarch and cold water to help thicken it up. At this point, you can taste it to adjust the flavor to your liking.

Pour glaze over fish and serve warm.
